Fashrate Style Blog http://fashrate.com/blog Reviews latest styles and trends as well as tips on using Fashrate.com Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:18:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 Holiday Wish List: Jeans http://fashrate.com/blog/?p=615 http://fashrate.com/blog/?p=615#comments Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:18:07 +0000 Elizabeth http://fashrate.com/blog/?p=615 Let’s face it, spending upwards of $150 on a pair of designer jeans, even if they are your favorite in the whole world, puts quite a dent in your pocket. So what better time than the holidays to ask for them as a gift?! Below are some jeans from my favorite designers which you will be sure to love. There is a little something for everyone here, different colors, different fits, different styles and different price ranges. I am especially a fan of the black Citizens of Humanity jeans because of the cute pocket applique! Those will certainly be on my wish list!

You are going to need the energy for Black Friday tomorrow! Need to know where to go? Check out this list below…

  1. 50% off at Rock & Republic at their Robertson Store. Get there early so you can have your pick, they open at 9 am. Also please note that this is number 1 on the list :)
  2. Amazon.com has had Black Friday deals all week. Just the other day I scored Skullcandy earbuds for $2.72! Also, you can buy literally anything on Amazon and they will typically have the best deals around and often offer free shipping. The added perk to Amazon is that you never even have to leave your house, and you don’t have to fight those Black Friday crazies.
  3. Abercrombie and Fitch is not really having a Black Friday blowout but what they are offering all holiday season is a $25 gift card for every $100 spent. And to get people into the stores on Friday, the A&F models will be hanging out in front of their stores. Not a bad deal!
  4. Also check your local newspapers to find out where the other deals and sales are, there should be lots…

And check back here for updates throughout the day and night. As soon as I know, you will know!

These two items below are super cute and will really put you in the spirit!

This belted tunic will look great with any pair of skinny jeans and some boots with a little flair. Or if it comes down long enough you could wear it with leggings, or if it’s short enough try a black skirt… so many possibilities!

And because we all know that I have gone crazy with sequins for this holiday season, I couldn’t leave this cropped sweater out of my post. How perfect would it be for throwing over almost any outfit (Silver particularly stands out next to black, so I would say my favorite would be this with black jeans.) if you have to go to a holiday party and aren’t quite sure how to look festive!

I love it! What better way to bring a little light to a dreary winter day than with some fun sparkling clothes. Here are two more items I found that I really wanted to share with you…

With these fun sequined and sparkling pieces you will be a rockstar at the club or the light of the holiday house party.

Pair these tops with black skinny jeans or a skirt with over the knee boots. Of course just some ideas to get you going. How would you wear them? Comment below!

Taking advantage of sales is always a great way to do that!

Pac Sun is having a huge sale right now! Hoodies are $29.99-$39.99, Tees and Tanks are $9.99 and $14.99, Jeans from $19.99 and so much more! While browsing the online sale items, I found some great buys that I just had to share.

In the order that you see them below, I’ve picked a fun and flowery Roxy printed thermal, O’Neill studded sandals (if you are lucky enough to live in warm climates, or maybe you’re going to put them away for next summer), two Nollie tees because you can never have enough black tee shirts and the pink and white one is just too sweet to pass up, a Kirra studded tank to match the sandals perhaps, a Hurley dress which unfortunately will be for next summer unless you are going on a fabulous trip to the Caribbean, and finally a Billabong peace tee shirt for those days you feel like spreading the love.

My sincerest apologies for having been absent from the blog for a whole month! How lame of me! I do hope that the three items I have recently found below (from head to toe!) will help to make up for it (even if only a little). I just know that you will love them as much as I do. They are definitely going on my holiday wish list. Yours too?

lovelove,

Elizabeth

The flip flops are officially away and some have even busted out their Uggs already. Don’t fret, below are two sweaters and a coat that will put you in a better mood about bundling up before you leave the house!

Abercrombie and Fitch’s marketing team knew what they were doing when they sent this picture to me in an e-mail today. I want to buy these jeans for all the boys I know! They fit this model so well, I don’t know how anyone could look at this picture and say “no way, don’t want them.” So I hope there are boys out there reading this, and I hope all of you girls point them out to your boyfriends or your brothers. Here’s to the boys!
